we are newtown, a special and caring place. we are defined by acts of courage, by acts of love, and by our continuing commitment and love for our children and families. it is my pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, to present to you governor dan malloy. [ applause ] >> pat, thank you for all of the great work that you have done for this community in the last three days, to the police chief, and to the superintendent of schools, thank you for your great service, as well as to all of the first responders. thank you. when i came in to the hall, one of the first songs to be played on the piano was "amazing grace," which is fitting for any number of reasons. it's become an anthem for first responders, it has great words, it also speaks of the power of faith. "amazing grace" was written by a former sea captain engaged in the slave trade. and those profound words that "i once was lost but now am found" speak to us on a day like today. when we are called upon, dare i say required to be invested in our faith, a faith so evident in this room
